💬 "I want to express my closeness to the suffering people of Ukraine, to the children, the youth, the elderly, and especially to the families mourning their loved ones. I share your pain for the prisoners and the victims of this senseless war," writes Pope Leo XIV in a new post shared on X.

Immigration is the central issue of our century and progressives must defend it or lose absolutely everything to fascism

Hard no on 2024 election conspiracy theories. There’s no chance, and pushing them is unhealthy, both psychologically and politically. Some pushing them are caught up in wishful thinking—a plurality voting for this is a hard fact to swallow—but some are bad faith actors, helping the attack on truth.

This Budget Act makes investments in affordable housing and transit operations. But thanks to the leadership of Governor Newsom, Senator Wiener, and Assemblymember Wicks it also contains transformative housing policy we have championed for decades. This is a generational moment. An inflection point.

People who don’t live in New York don’t know this but the only people who could possibly legally vote for zohran are… you guessed it.. registered democrats

I never will cease to be amazed how thoroughly it breaks so many people's brains when you say that there is no cosmic force that compels Republicans to do all the bad things they do and that they are morally responsible for their own actions.

LGBTQIA+ history is American history. On the anniversary of Stonewall, we honor the legacy of leaders like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera and all those who continue her fight for equality.

Perfekta.

This guy is fantastic. Take a listen.

The Tarrant County Republican ignited a firestorm online.

it's also just weirdly...not true

Global efforts to protect children against diseases including measles, polio and tuberculosis have stalled since 2010, leaving millions vulnerable to deadly infections.

In light of today's decision, I once again recommend to everyone this book on the Wong Kim Ark case that guaranteed birthright citizenship. Now more than ever it is crucial to know and communicate this history. kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700634217/

The fact that Biden pulled off CHIPS and IRA with a margin as thin as he had is staggering. I cannot think of a modern President who did more with less

“The extensive hunt for the alleged mole [in MI6], called Operation Wedlock, was run by…MI5, which deployed a team of up to 35 surveillance, planning and desk officers [and] lasted in one form or another for up to 20 years” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Wait is this a slick investment grindset tiktoker coming out against ICE? Bruh what the fuck is this thermostatic reaction

Of course that's what this was, rage-baiting so he can talk at the Nazi bar about how mean everyone is here We don't feed trolls. They hunger for *any* attention, so we let them fucking starve.

I know people mock Bush and McCain’s gestures towards the Muslim community as empty words, seeing all the awful stuff they actually did… But, man, that fake civility was important, even if it was kinda fake, because it still was a signal to normie voters that this wasn’t okay. And we don’t have it.

Every liberal SCOTUS dissent kinda feels like this

I still think a fascinating dynamics in Congress is that frontline republicans are the party's most dutiful soldiers, while frontline democrats are the party's most irascible malcontents

The ADL fired 22 people, all who worked on issues like civil rights for other communities. This is part of larger changes: 1. Ending its anti-bias training, which focused on other forms of bigotry. 2. Removing 134 pages from the site that educated on issues like trans identity & white privilege

100% agree. The hatred and blatant racism displayed by the #Trump administration and sitting members of #Congress are a direct insult to Muslim Americans and Muslims around the world.

My statement on the vile rhetoric being spread about Zohran Mamdani:

Fundamental issue in American politics right now is that policymaking has been in a backed up feedback loop of promising more and more to compensate for the fact that Congress cannot reasonably pass normal legislation anymore

a thing that i think is hard for people to extrapolate about things in 2021 is Joe Biden won a decisive victory but was only elected a narrow margin and then had to govern with a functional minority government

For months, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has faced fierce criticism from conservatives over some of her decisions in cases involving President Donald Trump.

DHS claims Haiti is “safe enough” to end TPS, but the State Dept warns Americans not to travel due to kidnappings and crime. The Trump Admin is actively lying to justify ending TPS amid a deadly humanitarian crisis. This is a deliberate act of cruelty. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

i think a vast majority of democrats are basically good, with a significant portion of them being really indecisive cowards until faced with the obvious, but there are a lot of stinkers

I was adopted via closed adoption, born in North Carolina. It was closed so I have no knowledge of or access to my biological mother’s details. It also means my biological mother isn’t on my birth certificate. So if birthright citizenship becomes a patchwork right, what’s someone like me to do?

This is actually the Alaska Speaker and Senate Leader. Massive massive potential for backlash in the state

It's interesting that Trump isn't going to Minnesota to pay his respects to the slain lawmakers. Biden is there sort of fulfilling the presidential role. I imagine that a Bush or Romney or McCain would have gone and had some words of respect and condolences, but Trump just isn't capable enough.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Obama got eaten alive for saying small town voters were bitter and clinging to their guns and religion, but he was and still is completely right.
